School Reviews
| 5 I used to go here. Until 7th grade, when I moved. I miss it so much. It's a very dramatic school, and someone with extreme social anxiety like myself barely could survive. But I wish I could've managed better. I could have had friends. But how can you have friends when you don't even talk? Anyway, It's a good school. I wish I could contact some students there. I miss them.-Kailyn W. - Posted by Student/Alumni - Kailyn |
